It almost works as expected, but for one annoyance. I have four
servers listed in my .authinfo file. When I start Gnus, I get asked
for the decryption password six or seven times as various connections
get opened, despite having gnus-encrypt-password-cache-expiry set to
120. Shouldn't I only be asked for my decryption password once? Surely
something must be wrong, for it would be easier to type four different
passwords than to type a single on seven times.
Related questions:
o Does Gnus really reparse ~/.authinfo every time a connection gets
opened?
o Could Gnus cache the decrypted ~/.authinfo data to avoid running gpg
so many times?
